Soundflower for Snow Leopard

The current build of soundflower doesn't seem to work with snow leopard...Until now. Here is the snow leopard soundflower package. If you don't know what soundflower is it is a virtual audio routing device that can be used either alone or in concatenation with another device set up to maximize your systems audio bus. In particular relation to QC it is used to route your iTunes into a QC audio patch so you do not need to adhere to apples visualizer protocols. Since iTunes has lifted its security protocols to allow things like 3rd party plugins and video input to their protocol is not all that bad however as it is now you still need to have a visualizer running in itunes to get an audio spectrum running through quartz which will hog your CPU.

I personally use soundflower for recording system audio when making videos/tutorials on my mac. It is a useful tool for those who are interested in it.
